Scene depicting a group of peasants sat around a table playing cards in a pub yard. The men are sat on wooden benches and barrels engaged in their game; a man approaches the table to the right holding a plate of food. To the left of the group is a small wooden shack, behind which is a thatched building; a young child looks out of a window and observes the scene below. Surrounding the yard is a wooden fence, inside which another group of men play skittles. In the foreground to the right, there is a wooden bench surrounded by jugs and barrels; in the centre foreground, a small dog can be seen running. Beyond the central scene, a landscape with houses and trees runs into the distance with a church spire just visible; behind the fence another figure can be seen walking up a footpath.
